The Jones.owens Incident.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Dec. 5.-Edttof
Morning NewS: Your telegram from this
place, published Sunday, giving an account
of an incident in the conference meeting
Saturday, was in some particulars incorrect.
The following is a correct account as given
by Mr. B. II. Hopkins an eye witness,
which has not been disputed here even by
Mr.. Jones' bitterest enemies:
81 was present and saw and heard it all,
and more astonishing performance never
came under my notice. The facts are these:
Mr.. Jones was in the chair, presiding tenn
porarily over the meeting. In the course of
some remarks, in response to an inquiry by
Mr.. Owens, he said that the present citizens
movement was an attempt to begin anew
and take up the work in which the previous
conference committees had failed. Mr..
Owens said that those he represented pro-
posed to go right on and hold an election,
and therefore he and his associates (ir. H.
A. LEngle and Mr. j. NJ. Barrs) were out
of place in this meeting
addressing Mr.. Jones, as thought joe
ularly, he said: / move that | adjourn ;
at the same time moving toward the door.
Mr.. Jones said, also jocularly: I second
the notion Then Mr.. Owens turned to
Mr. Jones, poured out torrent of abusive
language, and declared he was going to
thrash him.
Mr. Jones kept his temper and self-con-
troll, and simply said as Mr.. Owens and his
associates continued toward the door
Those are the sort of gentlemen who pro
pose to run the city of Jacksonville
These are the facts of the case, as 1 re-
call them. 1t was a painful scene, and
every one present condemned and regretted
it."

A Sensation SnoiIed.
From the Americats (Ga) Republican.


1t was whispered around by the colored
people, that one of their race, a woman
whose husband had been hung or accident
ally beheaded was a veritable witch of
Endor. She could be heard at all times
talking to some one, and getting replies, but
no one could ever be found where she was
Aud then it was told by the darries, whose
wide stretched eyes were white with fright,
that she could call her husband from the
grave at any time; and he would go to her
always headless. His shadowy form would
rise up from the grave, climb the fence and
walk TO the house, pass i'll and take the chill
dren up in his arms and toss them up and
down over the place where his head ought
to be. 1t seemed like the negroes believed
the story, got it circulated pretty freely, and
there were some who had seen the headleSs
body pass into the house through the key
hole when his wife called him from the
grave.
Monday night some ten or twelve white
boys who had heard the reports of the col
ored boys, decided to investigate the affair
found the house, knocked at the door and
then huddled together in corner for the
old witch to open to them. When she saw
the boys in huddle she said: "Wha yer
dom dar, and what yer want" One of them
said they Had come to see the ghost she
could call from the grave. At this the old
woman got mad and said "dat is a lie.

RLoop1EsT OF THE WAR.
Recalling the Terrible Battle at Frank
lin
From The At,qusia (Ga.) Chronicle.

From the AUGUSTA CCid.) Chronicle.
Just twenty three years ago Wednesday
the bloodiest battle of the war between the
States was fought. At 3 o'clock on that day
the Confederates under the comand OF Gen.
Hood, attacked the Federals, under Major
General Schoneld, at Franklin, Tenn. The
Federals were entrenched at Franklin, on
the Harpeth river, and were attacked by
Gen. Hood, with 1900 infantry. The Con
federates were unable to use any artillery,
but the Federals utilized theirs TO advantage
from behind their entertainments, and from
across the Harpeth. Until night the battle
was fiercely waged, the field being literally
strewn with Confederate dead But the boys
in gray finally conquered the foe and the
Federals were pursued eighteen miles to
Nashville.
While the Confederates were successful In
this battle, it resulted in the complete dis
organization of the army of Tennessee.
Five brigadiers were killed. and eight
wounded Among those Generals killed was
the gallant Irish Confederate Gen Pat Gle
burne, the "Stonewal" jackson of the
army of Tennessee; Gen. States Rights
Gist, of South Carolina; John Adams OF
Mississippi; Schoup, of Indiana, and Gen.
Palmer, of Burke county, Ga. The whole
battle was fought i'll the space OF onequarter
of a mile, and was without doubt the very
bloodiest of the civil war. The Confederate
loss was $500 killed and wounded, being
over one third OF the forces engaged.
- "wednesday many in Augusta recalled
this terrible fight. Veterans spoke of its
trials and the bravery of the officers and
soldiers engaged, and waxed eloquent in
narrating courageous deeds, thrilling en-
counters and narrowing Incidents

on the street at Athens Tuesday between
Hon r. b. Russell and ID. Croan Oliver,
Chief of Police. 1t is said that Russell made
a speech Monday to n negro meeting, in

which he made some very grave and seri-

negro baby in cheese box. Oliver asked
Russell about it. which statement that gen
tleman denied but wound up by saying that
Capt. Oliver could not bulldoze him with
his stripes. Oliver stated that if Russell
meant to say that he would use his Office
to bulldoze him, that he lied. Quite war
of words ensued, when friends interfered
and the belligerents were parted. This is

friends say that he will certainly notice the
attack Mr.. Russell made upon him. The
contest between Hodgson and Dorsey is but

Capt w. ID. O'Farrell.

BARRIERS Tongues.

From the MiLledgeville (Gd) Chronicle.
1t is rare to find a good barber who hasn't
a tongue as long as his razor strap, and kept
about as busy. 1t is a great bore to a man
who likes a quiet shave or restful haircut
to have his barber flooding his ears and
nose with anything but an odor from

The best barber the writer ever knew was
a colored man and lived in this city all his
life. His name was Robert Betton, but as
"Bob the Barber" he was known from
Chatham to Dade, and universally respected
He had the good sense TO keep his tongue in
its proper place. He was polite as French
man, and would talk freely whenever a
gentleman asked him question, or engaged
him in conversation. He knew all the big
men in Georgia, from Troup to Howell
Cobb, and keeping the only restaurant for
years in the city, during the ses-
sions of the Legislature, he knew
more about the private habits
of the Solons of the State than any other
man in the city. No matter what time of
night they came in from the faro tables, or
committee rooms or caucuses, "Bobn was

told "Bob" that, ''if he had his experience

If the newspapers were to organize some
thing on the order of rogue's gallery, and
put the names of all papers which appro-
pirate the articles of other papers without
giving the proper credit, the names of some
of the most prominent papers in Georgia
would soon be placed before the people IL
is a very easy and simple thing to add the
name of the paper and give the poor editor
and reporter the credit, for some of them
get such little pay, they really work for the
